Research direction
Start by reproducing the @BeforeClass failure from the provided startTest example with Appium server 2.5.1 on Windows 11, then collect the missing Appium, driver, Node.js, npm, and device details. Check the Appium server logs and determine whether the session reaches the AndroidDriver; done means identifying a specific startup cause and a reproducible fix.
